What Is Included in a Standard Cleaning Service?

“Clean first and clean regularly” is the key phrase the CDC uses to inform homeowners of how often they need to ensure their space is germ-free. If you want to follow this advice, but don’t have the time to perform the steps yourself, you may be looking into the use of a standard cleaning service. However, what exactly does that entail, and what signs are there that you can book a specific cleaning company with confidence?

Below, we offer an essential cleaning guide to help you understand what Yorleny’s home cleaning strategies are and how their routine cleaning methods handle almost any area of the house you might need to worry about following a guest check-out.

Along with the right supplies and experience, learn how our basic cleaning techniques will take the weight off your shoulders, helping you turn your attention to other issues instead.

Room-by-Room Standard Clean Steps

The “standard clean” is one of the more efficient cleaning routines, often used after a guest has moved out following their stay. It gets the rental back into good condition to reset it before another renter comes in, usually later on the same day.

As such, our expertise helps us focus on key areas that give any potential new guest the best bang for their buck on cleanliness, while you can save the deep clean for once per month or more often during a busier season.

Kitchen and Appliance Exteriors

The main food preparation areas receive special focus for hygiene reasons; as such, you can expect us to:

• Wipe down counters
• Sanitize all food preparation and surface areas
• Clean the sink and faucet
• Ensure the backsplash is safe from food debris

The goal is to remove crumbs and grease, as well as dry up any potential water spots to prevent mold from forming.

The Florida Department of Health offers advice on ensuring that spaces like kitchens are free from mold. These tips are perfect for spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, where you can expect dampness to settle from occasional spills. As such, Yolorleny’s Cleaning Service uses them in our key training to give you the best cleaning results and protect your assets.

We will also ensure that we clean the outside of the:

• Cabinets
• Microwave
• Oven
• Dishwasher
• Refrigerator

Any areas that will contain potentially open food, such as the refrigerator or oven, will receive deep cleans. However, outside of those periods, we will ensure that they are hygienic and do not present stains or other signs of dirt.

If we discover any areas where the host needs to be informed of larger problems, we will do so as soon as possible to allow you to resolve the issue as fast as possible.

Bathroom Sanitation

We scrub and sanitize the toilets to prevent the spread of germs. This process includes wiping the flush handle as a regular touch point for guests, as well as doing the same on sink faucets.

Showers, tubs, and sinks also receive a careful wash to remove soap scum and residue, keeping them in pristine condition for much longer. Countertops, including the sinks and faucets, are also sanitized to protect guests.

We will also polish any mirrors to be streak-free and wipe any reachable tiles to remove dust, helping you avoid buildups in your vents.

Both the bathroom and kitchen will also be mopped, and we will remove the trash to ensure a seamless experience for the next guest.

Cleaning Living Areas

Basic cleaning of the living areas ensures that the living areas are clean and tidy for the next guest. If there are obvious signs of food debris or mold, we will perform deeper cleans, akin to those in the kitchen or bathroom. However, they rarely require such attention.

Cleaning these areas essentially involves removing dust and dirt from surfaces, including:

• Tables
• Shelves
• Window sills
• Décor
• Fabrics
• Floor
• Carpets and rugs

Baseboards, TVs, doors, and picture frames will also receive a careful dusting to help avoid any appearance of uncleanliness.

Soft surfaces, such as rugs and carpets, will receive vacuuming to remove any tracked dirt. New stains or other issues that we are unable to remove will be communicated straight away to the host for resolution. However, we have equipment that should be able to handle most deep cleans of specific issues, such as wine spillages or tracked-in mud.

Bedrooms

We can both remove and replace linens with others in the house, making the beds neatly in the process to help you retain your professional appearance. We then dust the rooms, similar to the living room, including:

• Nightstands
• Dressers
• Wardrobes
• Shelving

Door handles and light switches, as well as other common touchpoints, will receive a careful wipe to sanitize them and prevent issues with transferred germs. Many guests these days are cautious when it comes to sanitized and protected surfaces. As such, we pay attention to the EPA, which maintains a list of cleaning practices and disinfectants that are registered as being effective at protecting your rental and guests from major illnesses when used.

When You Need to Book a Deep Clean

While we can handle a deep clean, you will need to book it in advance. We can inform you of when our recurring services may not be enough to keep up with the buildup of hidden dust or other issues. However, we recommend that you seek our deep cleaning service out once every month or quarter, depending on the time of year and the standard of guests you receive.

Once such a cleaning has reset the home, you can return to your standard visits to keep it in better condition until the next cycle.
